What 2 bones make up the Shoulder Girdle?
- Clavicle 2. Scapula
What are the 3 parts of the Clavicle?
- Sternal End 2. Body/Shaft 3. Acromial End
What does the Clavicle articulate with?
The Manubrium of the Sternum and the Acromion of the Scapula
What are the features of the Sternal End of the Clavicle? What do they articulate with?
Sternal End: Possesses Articular surface for Manubrium 1. Sternal Facet –> articulate with Manubrium at Clavicular Notch 2. Impression for the Costoclavicular L. –> small depression on inferior surface –> attachment to Costoclavicular L. to the 1st Rib
Where is the Subclavian Groove location and what does it do?
On the Body/Shaft of Clavicle - Inferior surface - Attachment point for Conoid L.
What are the 3 features of the Acromial End of the Clavicle?
- Acromial Facet 2. Conoid Tubercle 3. Trapezoid Line
What does the Acromial Facet of the Acromial End of the Clavicle do?
Articulates with an Articular facet on the Acromion of Scapula
What is the attachment point for the Conoid L. on the Clavicle?
Conoid Tubercle Inferior Surface of Acromial End of Clavicle
What attaches to the Trapezoid Line on the Clavicle? Where is it on clavicle?
Trapezoid L. Inferior Surface or Acromial End of Clavicle
What is one of the most fractured bones due to direct and indirect injuries received by falling? What are they referred to in younger children when incomplete?
The Clavicle “Greenstick” Fracture: since often incomplete
What is the triangular, flat bone, that rests on the posterior Thoracic Wall? Capable of movement at which joint?
Scapula Scapulothoracic Joint
Scapula borders?
4/7
6
9/11
Lateral (Axillary): 4 & 7
Medial (Vertbral): 6
Superior: 9&11
- Suprascapular Notch
- Coracoid Process
What is transmitted by the Suprascapular Notch?
Suprascapular A. and N.
Located on Superior Border of Scapula
What is the Coracoid Process and what does it do?
- Anteriorly bent process of scapula
- provides attachment for muscles and ligaments
What is the articular surface for the Humeral Head on the Scapula called?
Glenoid Cavity of Scapular Head
What is the attachment point for the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii M.?
Supraglenoid Tubercle
- superior to Glenoid Cavity on Scapular Head
What is the attachment point for the Long Head of the Triceps Brachii M.?
Infraglenoid Tubercle
- Triangular Bump
- Inferior to Glenoid Cavity of Scapular Head
What is the slight constriction between the Scapular Head and Lateral Border?
Scapular Neck
Where is the Superior Angle of Scapula located?
btwn the Superior and Medial Borders
Where is the inferior angle of the scapula located?
between the Medial and Lateral Borders
Where is the Lateral angle of the scapula located?
between the Superior and Lateral Borders
What is the boney ridge that stretches transversely across the Posterior Surface from the Medial Border to the Lateral Angle ending at the Acromion?
Scapular Spine
What is the point of the shoulder called?
- Acromion
- possesses an articular surface for the clavicle
What is the convex surface of the Scapula?
Posterior Surface
What features are on the Posterior Surface of the Scapula? (4)
- Scapular Spine - Acromion - Deltoid Tubercle 2. Greater Scapular Notch 3. Supraspinous Fossa 4. Infraspinous Fossa
What attaches to the Deltoid Tubercle?
Deltoid M.
What is the short passage between the Lateral Border and the Lateral Attachment point of the Scapular Spine to the Posterior Surface?
Greater Scapular Notch
What is the location of the Supraspinatus M.?
Supraspinous Fossa
What is located at the Infraspinous Fossa?
Infraspinatus M.
What is the smooth and concave side of Scapula?
Costal (Anterior) Surface
What is located at the Subscapular Fossa?
Subscapularis M.
What does the Humerus articulate with?
Articulates: - Proximally with Glenoid Cavity of Scapula - Distally with Ulna and Radius Bones
What is at the Proximal End of the Humerus?
Humeral Head - rounded, smooth surface - articulate with Glenoid Cavity of Scapula
What is between the Humeral Head and Humeral Tubercles?
Anatomical Neck of Humerus
What is between the Proximal End of the Humerus and Shaft? Is is a common fracture site?
Surgical Neck It is a Common fracture site - hence name
Most common fracture site of Humerus? Common avulsion?
CN: The most common fracture site on the Humerus is at the Surgical Neck. The Greater Tubercle is also susceptible to avulsion by the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus and Teres minor Ms. that insert there.
